    To add a reinforcement of credibility, I can recall that reporters and politicians asked BLM activists, organizers, and protesters regarding victimizers and brutal behavior of police if they could forgive them.

    I learned this tactic used by people of That was in the past or *Can’t we put this behind us/forgive them" really just means “go home”.

      Yes very much so. Even if your retaliation against people doing bad things is just with words, it is “rude”.
